    Is this true or not...The Pig Incident

    Not sure if this has been discussed previously but Dave Hughes on his Nova breakfast show in Melbourne broke this story earlier this week.

    He claims an ex Swans player has told him that the pig released on the SCG in 93 (I think) sporting the signage "Pluga" was actually co-ordinated by Swans players!?!?! He claims that the pig was brought in by a player who wasn't playing due to injury. Hughsey also claimed that the pig was kept quiet by being fed hash so it was stoned to the eyeballs! The pig was so sedated that it actually stood still on the fence for about 20 minutes before heading off to the pocket. The scenes that unfolded from there well we all remember.

    This secret has only just surfaced as the player responsible continnued to play with the Swans (and Plugger) for many years!

    Can this/has this been proved to be true?

    Hilarious.
    I wouldn't put it past the players.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

        Thanks Ugg, that article is gold! Paul Kelly was involved, now that is huge... I can't believe that article didn't surface in Melbourne.

        I'm no expert on piglets but that thing has kept quiet for over an hour...reckon theres a fair chance the thing ate from Schappelle Corbys boogey board bag beforehand!

          It's a pity we don't hear more stuff like this from the clubs. A bit of fun never hurt anyone!!

          Reminds me of the good ol' days of bogan league.

          Today's game is so sanitised it needs its own girly bin!!

            That article is gold. Now we just need to "borrow" a gorilla and give it a mullet before the next Saints game.

                We'd need to rip it's head off and reattach it slightly lower. He has that "Spider Burton" posture.

                  Is it possible to induce osteoperosis(sp?) in a gorilla??

                    RSPCA wouldn't like it...

                      C'mon kids, leave Magilla Gorilla alone.
                      It's not his fault he fell out of the fugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
                      I'd love to see a picture of his parents!!

                        hehe! I remember this. I was near the players race, and it was let go about 20 metres from us I think. Was very funny!

                            Wear a gorilla suit (with #9 St Kilda jumper) and sit a few rows behind the St Kilda cheersquad. Barrack like a gorilla (do gorilla stuff like thump the chest, tear up bits of paper and throw them in the air, eat bananas, that sort of thing) and you'll be sure to have a great time.

                            And for the Swans, we could have people dressed up as B1 and B2 (the bananas). Sit somewhere nearby but several bays over. At half time walk past the gorilla.

                            Fun at the football!
